No, they definitely cannot. Antifreeze is a very toxic substance to all animals. You should take extensive precautions to ensure that your cat cannot get to any antifreeze, and you most definitely should not intentionally give it to a cat.

Fomepizole is the recognized antidote for Ethylene Glycol poisoning for use in canines and felines. Fomepizole inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase, preventing ethylene glycol from being broken down into potentially fatal metabolites.

Would a cat eat antifreeze?

First of all, antifreeze is as tantalizing to cats and dogs as your favorite food is to you. You probably like chocolate: sugar. Right? Well, to dogs and cats, antifreeze looks, smells, and tastes just as good as chocolate Reese's Cups or Snickers do to you. So, cats and dogs are not dumb if they do eat it. Make sure to keep antifreeze ouf of reach of dogs, cats, and small children. ~have a blessed day~

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

No. It can result in damage to the engine if you loose all of your coolant. I have damaged an Alternator by coolant spraying on it. There is some risk if you try to work on the radiator or remove the cap when the engine is HOT. The fluid can spray on you can cause burns. Antifreeze is not harmful to you if you spill it on you. ( cats and dogs are attracted to antifreeze and could possibly kill them if they drink it )
